ERIK HASSLE : Pathetic

Loving this new track from Sweden’s Erik Hassle, who continues to deliver the goods when it comes to interesting, forward-thinking pop.After debuting with the sensational ‘Hurtful’ back in 2008, he’s certainly come a long way stylistically, with ‘Pathetic’, the latest single to be lifted from his EP ‘Somebody’s Party’ almost certainly tailored towards the US market.Vocals? A little Prince-esque. Production? Minimalist; interesting; now. Sure, Erik might not have been accepted by the mainstream at this point, but if he keeps pumping out the quality goods like this, it’s only a matter of time.
